In fairness, Cowboys fans might have a point.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Few fanbases are convinced that NFL refs are against them quite like the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys. Whether we’re talking about a seminal moment like the “Dez Caught It” game or just what generally feels like a multitude of missed calls and swallowed whistles on a week-to-week basis, it’s not a stretch to say Cowboys fans are suspicious of some sort of conspiracy.<\/p>\n

And those feelings came out early in Week 2 with the New Orleans Saints visiting AT&T Stadium.<\/p>\n

In the first quarter with the Cowboys trying to answer an opening touchdown drive from Derek Carr and the Saints, Dak Prescott looked for Rico Dowdle on a wheel route. He put the ball on the money but linebacker Demario Davis was with him tight in coverage and broke up the pass. However, fans were already calling for defensive pass interference on the play as there was premature contact.<\/p>\n

That was just the tip of the iceberg as a soon-after play also involving Dowdle that also didn’t draw a flag but was exponentially more egregious than a ticky-tack DPI that was missed.<\/p>\n

Cowboys fans blame refs early while trailing vs. Saints<\/h2>\n

It was also Davis who was involved again as well. With Dowdle taking a carry up the middle, the Cowboys running back got pulled on the initial look in a strange direction to stuff a big gain. But the replay then showed why: Davis clobbered Dowdle with a big mitt right in the facemask that was as clear as day \u2014 or at least it was clear as day to everyone but the refs as no flag was thrown.<\/p>\n
